fascinating evening of early seminal pieces including Kontakte - one of the
first works to combine pre-recordings and live instruments - that
illustrate the development of StockhausenÕs compositional philosophy and
process. The power and vitality of each of the works remain as immediate
and tangible today as when the pieces were first performed.
